Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:

Pretty good skiing for mid November! Parkways had been groomed in the AM and coverage was excellent (no pavement in sight and poles not hitting pavement): good skis could be used. Skating was best - as there was no classic track set (and a lot of leaves, especially near P10, more of a nuisance with grip wax . . .). Reports were that p6 and p5 were also good starting points, and there were plenty of cars in the p8 parking lot.
